"Made up of humans" absolutely is not equivalent to "human" any more than you, yourself, are a single-celled organism. The sum of the whole does not equal one of its parts. In fact, it is quite dehumanising to consider a

Theoretically, repositioning one's coordinates in 3 dimensions over a limited span in a fourth dimension (time) is limited by c. Same goes for repositioning the 4-dimensional coordinates for the apparent quantom waveform collapse into

Truly, though, if you were to honestly treat it like the weather, it would determine your housing/infrastructure with year-round effects. The weather for my region doesn't demand A-frames to support massive amounts snow - if one o

The absence of any mention about privacy in the article's table has me concerned about how they may have found data extraction loopholes akin to other similar health-information-harvesting startups. The author claims to have a larger-t

"Failed to cut or slice..." This is obviously a stabbing weapon. A spike would also fail to cut or slice. This is bad science.

"As long as consumers are aware" is important, yet insufficient. Those consumers must also have alternative options available in the market. Competition isn't just on price, but on features. Consumers, aware, are pissed, but

The point of civil disobedience is often to ensure the non-graceful handling being protested results in a very non-graceful effect. Companies soften their stance real quick when the hard positions they hold cost them a lot more. Apps punis

Canonical could really have really swept up a lot of former Red Hat developers if they'd simply redact and undo the whole Snap fiasco. For a user-respecting OS, people have few options other than Arch (for quick security updates) or De

The people have an interest in teachers making copies for students. This is fair use. Most of my teachers didn't know this fact. Textbooks skyrocketted in price in recent decades, while critical thinking and reading level plummet. This

Seems like a flagrant violation - yet the actual law disagrees, and you have more rights than what the required library copyright warning implies, from which the majority of our population's learns of "fair use"... perhaps

A "few failures as part of otherwise useful regulation" sounds an awful lot like some innocent victims exists, treated as guilty. Treating the (presumed) innocent as though guilty, by regulation even, doesn't sound all that g

That risk is non-zero in a world where zero of these risks exist for any other GPL software. Relying on nonenforcement is a monumentally foolish business decision.

Clearly, you don't understand the processes for which CentOS (and, by extension, Alma & Rocky) is an appropriate solution. Redeclaring the problem domain does not solve the problem. In effect, Red Hat, by refusing to acknowledge ac

If you don't understand the process which actually benefits from CentOS (as-it-was), then your redefinition of the problem domain still does not resolve the actual problem. If CentOS didn't deliver on its promises while under Re

Waaaait, isn't this the same court which considers money to be speech?! By the same rationale, a bank cannot be forced to "speak" with you after you "speak" with it....
